[CLOSED/G2] T-Mobile stores in my area won't sell early :(

I called a few of the T-Mobile's in Orlando and they said that they weren't allowed to sell them until the 6th. So is this selling early thing a regional thing only?

I tried calling several locations around the Orlando/Winter Park area too, and none of them were selling it early. Finally found a store in Waterford Lakes that sold it to me about an hour ago. Very happy with the phone so far.

I went to the T-Mobile store in the Brandon Mall. They told me they could not sell for upgrades until the 6th but for new accounts or if you have to add a new data plan or service to get it, they could sell it to you today.

I just called 2 T-Mobile stores here in Los Angeles and they confirmed that they are selling already.

Called 3 stores in the columbus, ohio area - none of them are selling it early. I finally was like, "no I don't wnat to be put on your waiting list, whats the motivation for htat when I can hop over to radio shack and buy it right now". Makes no sense to me WHATSOEVER why they would refuse to sell it. Unfortunately radioshack's no contract price is 550, grrr gotta wait till the 6th I guess ($499 at tmo stores).
Furthermore, Tmobile not OFFICIALLY allowing their stores to sell early is a damn joke - somehow radio shack is given the official go ahead to sell before a corporate store? What a joke!

Well radio shack isn't tmo corp. They are autherized dealers. If tmo has a date they wanna sell at that's the date they feel will give enough time to make store changes and offical shipments in to all stores. They have to change out 10k plus stores so that u get the same experience at every location and stock them all. If radio shack wants to sell early that's up to them but if the get some type of backlash from tmo for selling early is a differnt story. In the end its all marketing really. If u dnt wanna wait then pay the extra 50 bucks. Call it your convience fee heh

T-mobile stores can sell today if they have stock available. My stores didn't so I bought from radio shack. Love it so far.

They had a real working one out on display at the T-mobile here in Florida. Didnt ask about buying it though. If it was on display, you think that means theyre selling it or?

I just went to Radio Shack and got mine. The cashier had to call Tmobile customer service and the tmo rep said that this was the first retail purchase recorded. I doubt it though.

What time did u get it? I waited outside the door til they opened at 11, and was gone by 11:30, g2 in hand. My tmo store was pissed when I brought back the vibrant on day 13, lol.

haha, funny about you returning your vibrant. I returned mine also but the guys were really cool at the tmo store because they knew the G2 was a better phone than the vibrant. I happen to agree.

Just picked up a G2 at the T-Mobile store in Mountain View, CA (San Antonio Shopping Center - 510 Showers Drive) at about 3:30pm PT. They didn't say how many they had in stock, but did say mine was only the second G2 sold today.

Well, I'm thinking the Guy was ticked because he doesn't get he commission now, plus I went to the shack instead of the store. Oh well. I actually had to go to a different store to get my refund on the vibrant. He told me he couldn't do it because he didn't have the money in his drawer. Total prick about it too.

[Q] Any word on availability through Verizon corporate stores?

Trying to live a life where I don't have to give money to Best Buy. Saw that Verizon updated their Xoom page this weekend, but surprisingly still no order or pre-order information.
I'm assuming if I walk up on Thursday morning they'll have them, but stranger things have happened. Any word on Verizon corporate stores and their expected Xoom inventory?

Just called my local Verizon store, no one there knows if they'll get Xooms to sell on Thursday.

I've heard Verizon stores are only getting 2 or 3 units. This is all rumor at this point, but I do know that BB stores are only getting 5-10 units to sell with most being closer to 5.

I was at a Verizon corporate store in North Seattle yesterday. I asked if they were going to have Xooms on Thursday. The guy I ended up talking to would not come out and outright confirm it, but "highly recommended" I visit the store early on Thursday. Take that for what it's worth. I'm buying mine at Costco.

Just saw this on BGR this AM:
(boy genius report url)/2011/02/22/verizon-wireless-to-launch-motorola-xoom-on-february-24th-599-99-on-contract/
Surprised they aren't doing pre-orders.

As a corporate store they r not allowed to disclose that information on stock count even after Thursday but trust me they have plenty

Looks like I'll be there at 8:45am on thursday lol

Its worth calling. Icalled my local VZW store today and asked if they were doing any presale on the Xoom. She said she would hold one for me and took my name and number. I'll be stopping by Thursday morning (opens at 7:30!) to pick mine up. If they end up not holding one for me, all is well, I have a pre-order in with Best Buy.
But, moral of the story, its worth calling and asking if they will put one on hold for you.

Looks like an early morning for me as well. There's a non-corporate store near me, so I'll also check in with the owner tonight. The small shops are usually pretty good about cutting deals, but they usually get stock after everyone else.

Yeah it does. I live downtown chicago, so there are 5ish stores within a couple miles of where I live and work. There is one that opens at 7 as well, but its a bit further a way.

Checked my store this am (Sac Cal) and they seemed to be barely aware of what I was talking about

They're telling me (harlingen, texas) that the 28th is when they'll make theirs available but that the tablets they'll have WILL have flash 10.2. I have no clue why the delay but the wait is gonna suck. He took my name and number and said he'd call me the 27th.

My verizon said they will have them

Rotten customer service, poorly informed apathetic sales staff and being forced to listen to a sales pitch for product protection plans which is laced with guilt and unfounded fear for most consumers.
Since there is no price advantage at Best Buy, why put up with the aggravation.

Corporate VZ stores will definitely have Xoom's available on the 24th.

NYC TMO Store w/ Galaxy S III in stock!

Upgraded at the T-Mobile Store in the Staten Island Mall today. Found out that they had the biggest shipment out of all NYC stores (more than the flagship store on 34th st.) Rep told me something about them being the number 3 store in Galaxy S sales in the entire company and that's why they received so many.
If interested here's the info from the business card:
T-Mobile Store 3811
Staten Island Mall
2655 Richmond Ave
718-761-7390
Plenty of staff on hand, and although the store was slammed I managed to get in and out quickly.
Stock was limited to 16gb blue only.
Good luck and in case you didn't know this phone is amazing!

I got mine there too. I was the first in line, in fact there really was no line. Only 3 other people besides me were there for the GSIII, but I would imagine many more showed up after me since I was there pretty early. Staff was great. They told me they received 80 units, so they still might have a few today.

New to T-Mo...What kind of speed??
Since this is a NYC post, I'm curious to know what you two guys (and/or gals) are getting as far as speeds? I'm new to T-Mo, coming over from Sprint. Thanks a lot.

on average between 8000-12000 on the DL and 1000-3000 on the UL.

I'm in Jersey City, NJ which is considered a suburb of nyc....

Where can you find an S3 display/demo model in the US?

Do carrier stores or retailers have any variant yet?

Search.
I read that July 1st is sprints date

Louisiana, Lake Charles T-Mobile
Just as an FYI, I went into T-Mobile in Lake Charles, LA and they had a demo unit there. Of course, the CSRs were playing around with it, so I doubt it has much relax time at all.
I'm with AT&T, but this has at least allowed me to have my hands-on time, so now I will be more comfortable ordering it online if I have to. Also, I do like the blue/purple color.

The T-Mobile store I picked up my new SIM cards from yesterday had a display model that was being oogled by the staff there as well.

I saw one at the tmobile store yesterday but they were borrowing around the people that was interested to get it, sprint usually had two models to display but that won't happened till July 1st, ATT and Verizon too but you have to make sure you go to a corporate store

A rep in nyc told me that the T-Mobile store on 34th street had a demo. I haven't personally investigated.
No Sprint store in nyc has a demo as of noon, Thursday.
I would think that the Samsung Center by Columbus Circle would have a few, but I seldom go north of 23rd st so I don't know.
